Conflict over States' Rights on p. 249
states' rights - belief that the power of the states should be greater than the power of the federal government

Do you favor giving more power to the states or to the federal government? Why?
I think the federal government because they can take care of all of the states as a whole better than the individual states themselves.

What examples can you think of that involve the concept of states' rights? What can states control that the federal government does not?
- marriage rights
- the age of drivers lisence
- drinking age
